Hello Hive, and my community,
"Does clothing cause bad intentions or is it a reflection of one's mindset?. If clothing is the reason, why are children ---both girls and boys --- also victims?"
This prompt has a twin answers.... Boldly Yes and Boldly No
Did you realize that this negative mindset reflections and the violations of male and female including children we are talking about appears in both sexes?.
I mean, dressing to harrasse the opposite sex is vise versa. The womenfolk do harrasse menfolk sexually likewise the menfolk to the female folk, it's all about the mindset.
Some women do harrasse or Violet the innocency of some men. Not only our menfolk do harrasse the opposite sex. Some women that has a complete negative mindset and an incurable ulterior motives, I mean those grown women that had already sold out their human hearts and emotions to the devil are into the business of sending youths, younger girls abroad to hwalk for Illicite attentions from some both innocent men, and some men of such lifestyle too for money.
Thereby Persuading such girls into prostitutions abroad. There has been several cases and some victimized returnees of such negative news, they do promise them job abroad, only to be trapped into such illicite lifestyle, willingly and unwilling.
" Guard your hearts, for out of it are the issues of life".
All we do and say, flows from our hearts. Our heart is the generating center of all we are or are going,all we are to do or to be. Our heart is our cultivating and generating ground.
Dressing and how any of us has dressed is how we will be addressed anywhere we are found we therefore dress either to be acceptable or to be rejected or to be disrespeced. This is the bitter truth
They all in different categories and occasions dressed very well, covering their nakedness and are still slaying in their beauties, what's hard about dressing appropriately?
This is a great principal that had been in place, and is still ruling the law of drsessing, everywhere from the time immemorial. It doesn't matter when some people ignore it for their own ulterior motives or negative mindset. The rule of the law about good dressing stands. Yet evil mindset is some people's undoing, they have allowed it to grow in them...so?
No any level, or amount of skimpy dressing, sharby dressing or un-cordinated dressing sense or attitude from anyone else that can change this understanding and knowledge of our fore fathers about our original dress sense of covering our sensitive parts of the body to avoid certain temptations.
It has been on ground even before we were born. It's the norm and our character in Africa as a whole to dress well and to cover our bodies very properly, accurately for both male and female, come heat or cold, it's the African culture, tradition and our heritage....., check it out by yourself in the African continent. We cover our bodies but the evils of molestation generates from the heart of those who has allowed it to be there and then it will over take them.
This also doesn't remove the fact that there are wolves in the entire midst of humanity or in the human existence. Some people had already sold their hearts and consciences to the devil making them, "the devil's advocate" .
They can do all the undone in the entire world without blinking an eye, they don't even have conscience anymore. They're bent on causing havoc, causing pains and sorrows to innocent people in the society.
You can see that our men are always wearing a pair of long trousers and long sleeve shirts whether there's heavy sunshine associated with heat or heavy downpour associated with cold, even in harmattan seasons.... We dress to cover up our nakedness first before thinking of how to impress or attract others. This creates a lot of boldness and confidence in us as we go about our daily activities.
Our society is mixed up with the good, the bad an the ugly, that's why rape and rapists are in the higher increase. Ocultic men, ritualists are everywhere seeking to use the innocent ones to fulfill their evil secret demands, thereby grabbing even children for their evil purposes and actions.
Their mindset had already been corrupted by their way of life and all those they had allowed to take root in their hearts for a long time, it has become their life pattern, incurable. Here and now, it's a matter of their mindset.
Dressing to cover our nakedness and to look appealing to ourselves first, our husbands and wives and then to everyone in the society that sees us, it has been our priority, gladness and our character from youth and from our different homes. For this reason, one has to cover your self, and to be at alert against those wicked ones seeking for excuses to perpetrate their evil mindset.
This doesn't remove the fact that some careless parents especially some care free mothers don't care about this original morals and dress sense, they dress to expose their private areas not minding who is looking at those sensitive parts of their bodies without permission.
Thereby alluring these evil doers to their own detriments, it doesn't still justify rapes or rapists but our mindset does the magic of the good, the bad, and the ugly we are seeing in our society today from bad sense of dressing to rape and even killing of some victims..... Deep hatred everywhere, lack of self control, lack of personal morals for daily living.
These carefree mothers has taught their daughters or children to dress up in the same sharby ways and mannerisms to cause uproar in the streets, churches, occasions, events, market places and everywhere they are found. That stinks, not acceptable and can not change or replace the fact and the belief that dressing to cover up our nakedness is the first reason why we dress up before thinking of luxury, attractions or showing up for others to copy our sense of style or how much we have spent dressing up.
Women need to be very conscious of how they look in the mirror before stepping out daily to secure their prestige and dignity and not to be wasted by these evil vultures everywhere.... Yes, it's our duty to save ourselves by good dressing, the society has gone harewire doing the unacceptable things on daily basis. Don't pose yourself to become a victim by the way you dress.
Having this in mind all the time, will go a very long way to help you to respect yourself, love yourself and dress well to attract respect ad dignity from people wherever you are found, consciously and unconsciously
** It has to always be at the back of your mind that your dress is you. Male or female alike, then.... loving and seeing oneself as you-----, will wish others to love you, respect you, honour you, respond to you and the way and manner people from all works of life will see you and regard you too**
This is my take on this prompt.
